The ad campaign continues

EDITOR,
I don’t understand why the Drs. Ebrahimian continue with their sleep apnea campaign, in light of how it has been received. I would think they would have enough traditional dental work to do.
I have obstructive sleep apnea. A surprisingly high percentage of the population suffers from one or more of many dozen different sleep disorders. Physicians who specialize in sleep medicine (a relatively new and growing area) have undergone many years of focused training and most practice exclusively in this area. Treatments are numerous and varied, although my experience — and that of many other people I know — would say that physicians don’t seem to often prescribe the in-mouth appliances that dentists provide. There’s a conclusion to be drawn from that.
The multifaceted treatment prescribed by my sleep doctor has had a dramatic effect on my life. Anyone who feels any degree of sleepiness or drowsiness during the daytime should seek a consultation.
Whether you go to a physician with years of training who treats these problems exclusively or a dentist who went to a week- or weekend-long seminar is your choice.
